WINTER 2 $PRING BA$IC$

#BA$IC$ #$HOPPING #TIP$

Goooosh hello loves ! Long time no see... Almost 2 months without news around here... I just needed a break... from everything, especially social medias. Oh well, I'm back, and on my 'worst behaviour' as said on FB 2017 has started cold AF here in Belfort (as if we were not used to it ). Even if the hot season is settling slowly and before flooding you with a bunch of light looks corresponding to the current season, I present you my must-haves for the cold season, items I could not live without during the transition!

Let me tell you about my inspirations and explain my choices first. When it comes to winter fashion, and especially where I live (East of France !) you HAVE to be able to combine (rather than choose between both of them ) COMFORT and STYLE. Here is my selection ;

All offer a range of outerwear to bare extreme cold. I fell in love w/ their bombers at first sight even if their parkas are very cool too, but that was without one detail : in spite of their new blabla that did not exist before, I can not resign myself to put 600 EUR minimum in a jacket even the hottest if I'm also fully aware that one had to grip an animal to make it. The fake, although a little less warm, suits me perfectly. I do not trust any brand using real fur, saying they trace animals and pay attention to them to be sure they are treated well since THAT IS NOT TRUE ! The simple fact of tracing an animal for its future fur personally disgusts me ! As for all, it's just a beautiful business on the back of animals who didn't ask for anything ! If I can abstain, I'll do it with almost as much pleasure than the one that will buy it thinking it's essential to her life... Oh almost forgot : and that is pretty deceiving for my beloved KENZO brand who has an eco-label but chose to use racoon fur and completely circumvent their own ethic to make these coats... SAD FACT Anyway I won't be rambling too much about it, already gives them too much credit, just for you to know that I am not that kind of buyer

Ok ! You've already seen these over and over around here... THOSE are my STATEMENT shoes for cold weather... Extreme wind, rain or snow outside : those are MY GO-TO boots ! I would litterally sleep in them, they are so so confortable. Everytime I insert my little feet in the cozy furry padding, I rememeber how lucky I found BUFFALO at one point, just for these two

As I just said concerning cold on my neck, it's the number one part of my body that just can't bear cold and makes me sick straight away if it's not covered. So all sort of scarves are needed around this time of the year.

A good friend from work got those for me since I bought them from her as they were too big (I do that a lot and I'm known for it among my friends).They fit me perfectly and I highly recommend TEXTO for the quality and the 'french touch'.

I don't know how on Earth I thought about getting this, thinking it would be a basic and stay in my closet replacing the old one ! That's what it is to follow trends when it's not necessarily a need ! I was over excited when I received this because I wanted to find something similar to the KENZO parka I was talking about at the beginning of this post. So it's not at all a break anymore and that's why you can find it on THA GOLDEN SHOP for you to buy it for a paltry sum (compared to what it cost me at first !) if you interested in sporting the same look, feel free to go have a look
